Washington, May 05: Osama bin Laden, the most wanted man on the planet, is not holed up in Iran but is in the US capital, Washington DC, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has claimed.
“Rest assured that he’s in Washington. I think there’s a high chance he’s there,” Ahmadinejad said sarcastically in an interview to ABC News when asked to comment on reports that bin Laden is hiding in Iran for years.
His sarcastic quip came when asked to responded to a claim in new documentary “Feathered Cocaine” that bin Laden, the Al-Qaeda leader has been living comfortably in Tehran, Iran, for years.
“Your question is laughable,” Ahmadinejad said with a smile.
“Our position is quite clear. Some journalists have said bin Laden is in Iran. These words don’t have legal value. Our position towards Afghanistan and against terrorism is quite clear… I don’t know such a thing.
